Consumers, their family members or significant others and service
providers are asked to take an anonymous survey to provide input on
Fairfax County’s mental health care services. The survey gauges how well
these services promote recovery from mental illness.

It is being conducted by the Josiah H. Beeman Commission, which is
composed of local, state and national mental health care experts and
consumer advocates. Survey results will help the group advise the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors on the future direction of mental health
services in the Fairfax-Falls Church community.

The short survey can be answered online from home or a county library at
www.fairfaxcounty.gov/beemancommission. A
paper copy is also available at all county libraries, most Community
Services Board service sites, and consumer-operated drop-in centers. The
survey ends on Wednesday, Dec. 19.

The following drop-in centers will offer survey assistance at scheduled
times:

Survey participants are not asked to identify themselves, where they
receive services or what kinds of services they receive. A summary of
survey results will be posted on Fairfax County’s Web site.
